Spa cover is extremely heavy, waterlogged, and difficult to open

Safety first: A heavy cover can be a lifting hazard. Use proper lifting technique or assistance.

Steps to address heavy cover:

• Inspect cover skin: Look for tears, cracks, or seam failures that allow water to enter.
• Check cover lifter: Ensure the Strong Spas cover lifter is properly adjusted and lubricated to assist with lifting.
• Replace cover: Waterlogged foam cannot be effectively dried. Replace the cover with a Strong Spas-compatible insulated cover to maintain energy efficiency and safety.

When to call a technician: Not usually required unless cover lifter installation or cabinet reinforcement is needed.
